Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza discusses her new movie, Life After Beth, and reconnecting with her Puerto Rican roots in the March 2014 issue of Latina, which hits newsstands and Nook Newsstand on February 11, 2014.

Aubrey Plaza is a virgin…on film. In her first lead role inThe To Do List (July 26), the Puerto Rican, British and Irish actress portrays Brandy Clark, a high school senior whose main objective before she starts college is to become well versed in the book of love sex. The Parks & Recreation star is making our sides hurt with all the one-liners in the trailers, so we’re sure the actual movie will be a comedic explosion (think Superbad for women).

Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban actress Rosario Dawson and half-Puerto Rican actress-comedienne Aubrey Plaza new ensemble film, Ten Year, has finally aquired a U.S. distributor, meaning, we might actually get to see it soon!

But lately the 27-year-old actress has stepped away from her tomboyish style, especially at this year’s Emmy Awards, where she showed off a new wavy bob haircut and glam makeup that complemented her diamond drop earrings and cream gown.

The Emmys are coming up, and we are DYING to see what everyone will be wearing on the red carpet—especially our Latina celebs! But until the pre-show coverage starts, we decided to pick some dream gowns for some of our fave stars. Check out our selections and then tune in on Sunday night to see if our predictions come true!

Aubrey Plaza paid a visit to George Lopez on his late night TV show and contrary to what normally happens when she's on a talk show, the comedienne seemed to really click with the Chicano host. She even managed to pull off a prank involving the entire audience of Lopez Tonight!

Aubrey Plaza may not have a huge role in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but you sure will remember her. The half-Puerto Rican comedian, who has cornered the market on playing sarcastic outcasts in movies like Funny People and NBC’s comedy Parks & Recreation, steals scene after scene as a chick who shows up solely to curse out the lovelorn Scott. She’s a little more reserved in real life...a little.

Half-boricua actress Aubrey Plaza is hot, hilarious and very much in demand—from her co-starring gig on Amy Poehler's new sitcom, Parks & Recreation, to dream movie roles with Seth Rogen and Michael Cera—but we still managed to land the 24-year-old comedian for a quick chat about tonight's premiere of P&R, plus why she likes playing bratty teens and what she really thinks of Sarah Silverman.
